Has anyone tried to import Forth the three hunters! from zorbeck's into a deck? It doesn't seem to work for me.

I have never imported Forth the three hunters because I do not play Standard. However, I can confirm you that I also had trouble importing some cards (Last Throw) from SdA deckbuilder. I think it happens the SdA file differs from the GCCG file. Maybe the same things happen with Zorbec. I dunno.

[Kralik]

The SdA cards that do not import are actually due to bugs in the SdA database (misnumbering, spaces in card info, etc).

For Forth the Three Hunters!, perhaps the importer is choking since there are three versions of that card and Zorbec's probably adds extra info besides the normal collector's info to distinguish between them. I haven't seen wlk around for a long while, but he would be the one to ask to fix it...

Just wondering... Would it be possible to have some sort of 'lockout' added for league games on gccg to stop people from watching the games..? Hence stop people seeing opponents decks before having to play them..

I remember it happened in the fotr block league that people were constantly having to tell viewers to leave to avoid giving away secrets.

Not that it's a big deal, but if something like that were easy to add to the program it might be good..

I think we can deal with League issues separately, no need to change code, just engender some good fair play into the game.

no a question, but a remark

i have in my movie deck 4x Orc Pursuer (5C108) and 4x Orc Pursuer (7C303) and GCCG says that deck is illegal cuz i have 8x Orc Pursuer.

not a big deal, i just noticed that so il "report" it

[Witchkingx5]

Maybe you try to wirte the first one differently, like Orc Pursuer* OR Hobbit Sword****

Indeed, this is a pain because the dupe check is based on unique names. So far cards used to have unique names :/

On MetW this is handled by fair behavior.
When playing a tournament game, players use country flags (but you could signal it using any other way). While in game with flags, you are not allowed to lurk.
If someone does, he's reported and banned from the tournament.

Flags sound like the way to go then. Maybe something on the gccg lotr tcg main page could say something about this so that everyone knows, use it for promotion for the TTT league, the same way as: 'FOTR league now recruiting, see The last Homely House, Valinor for details' was used..?

WitchKingx5 and I had alot of viewers in our first league match..

What does "lurk" here mean:
1) that anyone who participates in the League is not allowed to watch the match

2) that anyone who particpates in the League is allowed to watch the match, but prohibited to saying anything about it

3) that no one is allowed to watch the match

4) that everyone is allowed to watch, but prohibited to say anything about it

5) none of the above, write your answer ____________________

       

If someone does, he's reported and banned from the tournament.

This would mean that cases 1 and 2 are not the correct answers which leaves 3 and 4... and 5 of course 

To me case 3 seems a bit too strict, so I would go for case 4) that everyone is allowed to watch, but prohibited to say anything about it. That's my final answer!

Did I win a million dollars?

not sure this anti scouting thing is necessary. i have been sitting in gccg loungue waiting for a game for about half an hour - and there are two games going on. for something to do it would be nice to spectate, but i don't want to upset anyone.

the leagues are just a bit of fun for me - if it gets too serious i think it takes away from it a bit ... just my take on it

[MuadDib85]

Anyone who participates in the leagues should not be allowed to view the match, I am sure anyone in the league would happily leave the game if asked.

So the answer to hrcho's quiz would be number 1, only banning people if they refuse to leave a league game after being asked.

Using country flags for league games will stop any problems, people in the league will get used to switching avatars before every game (like hrcho and I did tonight) and also get used to not viewing games between two people using flags as avatars.

I agree with chompers completely. However, MuadDib and some other people obviously had some bad experience during FotR League so I'll respect their wishes.

Though, it is quite boring when everyone is playing league matches and you can't play at the moment or watch them play.
